Abstract Introduction To determine the predictive factors of initial and long-term adherence to positive airway pressure (PAP) therapy and which factors leading a shift of good initial compliance to noncompliance. Methods In this follow-up study, A cohort of 166 adult patients who underwent polysomnography (PSG) between January 2017 and April 2019, newly diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and were amenable to PAP therapy were selected. Information on basic demographics, comorbidities and sleep-related symptoms was collected. PAP adherence data were collected at the end of the first week and the third month. After 3 months of follow-up, 142 participants were included for final data analysis. Results Pressure levels were stable during 3 months of PAP treatment. Overall average daily usage time and percentage of PAP used days ≥4 hrs were lower for 3 months than that in the first week. After adjustment for age and gender, multinomial logistic regression analysis showed that less number of sleep-related symptoms (OR, 0.69; 95% CI, 0.52-0.91) and low arousal threshold (ArTH) (OR, 4.44; 95% CI, 1.52-12.98) were associated with a higher odds of consistent noncompliance of PAP; Low ArTH (OR, 2.87; 95% CI, 1.09-7.57) and less BIM (OR, 0.88; 95% CI, 0.78-0.99) increased the risk of compliance-to-noncompliance shift. Conclusion Different from the predictors of consistent PAP noncompliance of OSA patients, only less BMI and low ArTH would cause a good PAP compliance shift to noncompliance over time.

The aim was to assess the arterial stiffness changes in patients with resistant arterial hypertension (AH) and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and possibilities of its correction by continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP)-therapy. Design: In 10 month follow-up study were included 46 patients with RAH, who were divided into groups: 1-st - patients with RAH and moderate to severe OSA on CPAP (n=21); 2-nd - patients with RAH and moderate to severe OSA without CPAP (n=25). They underwent somnography by dual-channel portable monitor device, office and ambulatory blood pressure monitoring, echocardiography and applanation tonometry. All patients received similar antihypertensive therapy according to 2013 ESH Guidelines for the management of arterial hypertension. Results: Patients with RAH and OSA (mean apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) 36.5±2.7 event h-1) in comparison with patients with RAH without OSA (mean AHI 3.4±0.2 event h-1) had significantly higher body mass index (34.2±0.7 vs 31.6±0.7 kg m-2, P<0.05), uric acid level (6.7±0.1 vs 5.6±0.4 mg dl-1, P<0,05)). Patients with RAH and OSA in comparison with patients with RAH without OSA had higher carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (PWVcf) (12.1±0.5 vs 10.2 m s-1, P<0,05) and central systolic blood pressure (CSBP) (143.8±2.7 vs 136.2±3.4 mm Hg, P<0,05). During 10 months follow-up in patients with RAH and moderate and sever OSA on CPAP-therapy there were significantly decrease of PWVcf (from 12.1±0.5 to 10.5±0.5 m s-1, P<0,05), decrease office systolic blood pressure (from 147.8±3.7 to 136.7±2.8 mm Hg; P<0,05) and diastolic blood pressure (from 96.8±3.5 to 87.0±3.3 mm Hg; P<0,05) with achievement of target levels in 67,2% patients. Central systolic BP decreased (from 143.8±2.7 to 137.7±2.8 mm Hg; P<0,05). Conclusion: The combination of therapy continuous positive airway pressure with antihypertensive treatment in patients with resistant arterial hypertension and moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea improved achievement of target blood pressure, decreased arterial stiffness and decreased central blood pressure.

Background: We sought to investigate whether long-term continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) treatment in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and resistant hypertension (RHTN) could attenuate the cardiovascular disease risk by lowering their body-mass index (BMI). Methods: This was a long-term observational study of RHTN patients diagnosed with OSA. Patients were evaluated with polysomnography initially and after a mean follow-up period of four years. The patients were divided into two groups based on their compliance to CPAP therapy. Results: 33 patients (aged 54.67 ± 7.5, 18 men, 54.5%) were included in the study, of which 12 were compliant to CPAP therapy. A significant reduction in BMI at follow-up was noted in patients compliant to CPAP therapy (1.4 ± 3.5 vs. −1.6 ± 2.5, p = 0.006). We also noted a large effect size reduction in abdominal circumference at follow-up in the CPAP group. At follow-up evaluation, the mean heart rate (b/min) was lower in the CPAP group (58.6 ± 9.5 vs. 67.8 ± 7.8), while arrhythmia prevalence increased between initial (28.6%) and follow-up (42.9%) evaluation with an intermediate effect size in non-compliant patients. Conclusions: In our cohort of OSA patients with RHTN, long-term adherence to CPAP therapy was associated with weight loss and improvement in cardiac rhythm outcomes.

Excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) is a symptom of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) that resolves under treatment with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP). In some patients, sleepiness persists despite CPAP treatment. We retrospectively analyzed data on subjective residual EDS, assessed as an Epworth Sleepiness Scale score (ESS) &gt;10, in patients from the European Sleep Apnea Database (n = 4,853, mean age ± SD 54.8 ± 11.8 years, 26.1% females), at baseline and at the first visit (median follow-up: 5 months, interquartile range 3–13). An ESS &gt; 10 occurred in 56% of patients at baseline and in 28.2% of patients at follow-up. Residual EDS was analyzed in 2,190 patients (age: 55.1 ± 12.0 years, 26.1% females) with sleep monitoring data (median follow-up: 3 months, interquartile range 1–15). Sleep studies during CPAP use were obtained in 58% of these patients; EDS was reported by 47.2% of patients at baseline and by 30.3% at follow-up. Residual OSA, defined as an apnea–hypopnea index &gt;10/h, and insufficient CPAP adherence, defined as nightly use &lt;4 h, occurred with similar frequency in patients with and without EDS at follow-up. Prevalence of residual EDS was highest (40%) in patients with a first follow-up visit at 0–3 months, then it was 13–19% in patients with a first follow-up visit after 4 months to 2 years. The change in ESS (n = 2,190) was weakly correlated with CPAP use (R2 = 0.023, p &lt; 0.0001). Logistic regression showed that an ESS score &gt;10 at the first follow-up visit was associated directly with ESS at baseline and inversely with duration of follow-up, and CPAP use (R2 of the model: 0.417). EDS showed heterogeneity in different European countries both at baseline and at the first follow-up visit, suggesting modulation by cultural and lifestyle factors. In conclusion, residual EDS in CPAP-treated OSA occurred in approximately one in four patients at follow-up; its prevalence was highest (40%) in the first 3 months of treatment and subsequently decreased. The finding of residual EDS in a significant percentage of optimally treated OSA patients suggests that wake-promoting agents may be useful, but their indication should be evaluated after at least 3 months of treatment.
